Crazy Things Said

[Babyjustrun]

I'm really bored, and I remembered this thread from a long time ago (like December) but I'm too lazy/i don't think i can find it.

So I'm wondering, what are some crazy things that are said about your city, state or country?

for example, people think we live in igloos have pet beavers & polar bears and speak nothing but french and always have 'eh' at the end of sentence.

 

[marypops!]

how about... we sometimes use umbrellas to transport to anywhere? now who would think that? (if you didn't know i'm talking about the UK)

(i have no accent)

 

[DollfieDreams]

florida!

we usually hear that people here are/do:
old
sunburned
extremely skinny and hyped up on some sort of steroid
rednecks with a "lazy" southern accent
enjoy oranges way too much
are sick and tired of all things disney (..are we..really?..)
have atleast one alligator in our back yard

1. im not old. 2. im not sunburned. 3. i am no where near extremley skinny. 4. accent? what accent? 5. i actually only like orange sherbert. 6. well..that ones a little self explanitory and 7. no..not yet.

I thought the "wooder" thing only referred to New Jersey. Actually, it's true for many people here in NJ.

People claim that the worst drivers come from NJ.

There are many other crazy things that are said about NJ that I can't think of right now.

not sure whether this makes sense/is okay, but i'm gonna say something crazy that kids my age think about my town:
we're ghetto (we have a neighborhood of mansions about a 2 minute walk from my school)
we're rich (definatly not)
we drink nothing but coffee (which is kinda true)

crazy stuff people say about my state:
we hate tea (take a guess about this: _______ Tea Party)
we are all either Irish or Itallian
we say "park the car" like "pahk da cah"
we are ALL witches (______ Witch Trials)

 

[Babyjustrun]

- It's always cold
- We wear freaking parka's.
- We say 'aboot'
- We're always drinking because we apparently have 'better' beer & the age for drinking is lower than Americans.
- Everyone plays hockey (even if most people do, some don't)

two people have already said stuff for Massachusetts but here are some more:

-everyone here are preppy. not really everyone has gone "punk" around my area. now a days here the only preppy people are the Kennedys.

-Everyone loves the Kennedys and Kerry. ok for the most part that is true but some people dont like either.

-We annoying because of the accent. The Bostonian accent isnt really that bad i think. Most people think we say something like caaaaaaaar, really we basically just cut out the "r"

- Rich, we are not all rich. yes i do live in a nicer town right outside of Boston but we do have bad areas just like everywhere else dose.

and everyone drinks because we are either all Irish or Italian

More about NJ:

It is considered to be the 'armpit' of the nation.
We all have relatives in the mafia, and talk like Tony Soprano.
NJ is nothing but malls.
People form North Jersey think that South Jersey is all farms.

 

[Princess Ash]

More Massachusetts

We all have annoying strong Boston Accents (This was already similarly said)
We're all "M@$$holes..." Nice huh? I actually heard someone at Disney call herself that (Ironically, she WAS a big mean jerk to me!), and I muttered to myself "Well maybe YOU are..."
